   02/25/14  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 27)

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF SUCH A DISTINGUISHED NATIVE SON AS LAWRENCE E. GOSNELL, JR., OF SPARTANBURG AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lawrence E. Gosnell, Jr., of Spartanburg on November 26, 2013, at the venerable age of seventy-nine; and

Whereas, born July 23, 1934, in Spartanburg to Lawrence E. Gosnell, Sr., and Elizabeth Mace Gosnell, Lawrence, or "Larry," as he was called, grew up in the South Carolina Lowcountry, attended Conway High School, and was a graduate of the University of South Carolina, where he was a four-year letterman in football. Subsequently, he served as president of the USC Association of Lettermen for his beloved Gamecocks; and

Whereas, Larry Gosnell had an accomplished and varied career as a contractor, working for Exxon, and serving as chief appraiser for South Carolina's HUD office. In addition, he was recognized for his exemplary skills as a coach and educator; and

Whereas, known for his strong faith and abiding love for God and family, he was a deeply committed member of Spartanburg's Westminster Presbyterian Church, where he was passionate about his involvement in men's Bible study, small-group activities, and Hardee's coffee club. He also relished cooking breakfast for the Spartanburg High School athletic teams on a weekly basis; and

Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his dear wife, Conalee M. Konduros Gosnell; three sons, Steve Gosnell (Vivian), David Gosnell (Betsy), and Billy Gosnell (Carin); two stepsons, Gregg Konduros (Cindy) and Sam Konduros (Aphrodite); one stepdaughter, Gia K. Diamaduros (Pete); thirteen grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of such a distinguished native son as Lawrence E. Gosnell, Jr., of Spartanburg and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mrs. Conalee M. Konduros Gosnell for the family.
